 Minion DHR II Tire - 27.5 x 2.40, Black, MaxxTerra, EXO

Maxxis Minion DHR II in 27.5 x 2.40 is a rear-focused mountain bike tire built for aggressive trail, enduro, and downhill riding where braking control and cornering support matter most. Its tread design blends a fast-rolling center with hard-biting braking edges and reinforced side knobs, giving riders a confident, predictable feel when pushing into turns and scrubbing speed on steep trails.

The MaxxTerra compound targets the sweet spot for many riders: dependable grip with balanced rolling resistance and tread life. Paired with the EXO casing, it adds sidewall cut and abrasion resistance without making the tire feel overly stiff—ideal for rocky, rooty trails where casing durability is part of performance, not just protection.

• Rear-specific DHR II tread - paddle-style center knobs dig in under hard braking to keep speed in check on steep and loose descents
• Ramped center knobs with sipes - improves acceleration and rolling efficiency while smoothing the transition as the bike is leaned over
• Widened, DHF-inspired side knobs - adds cornering support and consistent traction when loading the tire in turns
• MaxxTerra triple-compound rubber - tuned for aggressive trail/enduro use with a practical balance of grip, rolling resistance, and wear
• EXO sidewall protection - increases resistance to cuts and abrasions while staying lightweight and flexible for trail feel
• Versatile conditions - designed to work across a wide range of trail surfaces for year-round mountain biking

For riders building a proven front/rear setup, the Minion DHR II is commonly paired with a Minion DHF up front to balance steering bite with dependable rear braking traction.
